Broccoli Substitute

*The unopened purple buds of the milkweed flower make an excellent
broccoli substitute. The taste is very similar, and the texture is a little
less grainy.

*Only try cooked milkweed flower recipes .

Harvest whole clusters of unopened buds in an area you are certain
has not been treated with herbicides or other questionable chemicals.
Rinse under cool water, drain, and use in any recipe for which you
would normally use broccoli.
